This week, it’s finally time to take the elevator down to the testing floor. To break down all the revelations in Season 2 Episode 7, Ben and Adam are joined by Dichen Lachman, who plays Gemma / Ms. Casey. She shares what it was like filming in a brand new location with a new cast of characters, how she and Adam built out the relationship between Gemma and Mark, and the origin story of Ms. Casey’s iconic wig. Then, Ben sits down with Jessica Lee Gagné, Severance’s main cinematographer and director of the episode, to talk about why she chose this episode as her directorial debut.

Hey, Adam. Yeah? Is your experience at work a bit dysfunctional lately? I don't know. I think it's... it's... Okay, I'll take that as a yes. Your team could undergo a highly controversial surgical procedure that would mercifully sever any and all memories of that work experience from your home lives. Or you could try Confluence by Atlassian.
Oh my god, well, if it's a choice between those two things, I think I would 100% choose Confluence by Atlassian.
Confluence is the connected workspace where teams can collaborate and create like never before. Where teams have easy access to the relevant pages and resources their projects call for, while discovering important contexts they didn't even know they needed. A space where AI streamlines the things that normally eat up their time, letting teams generate, organize, and deliver work faster.
In fact, with Confluence, teams can see a 5.2% average boost in productivity in one year.
So that would equal out, like if we're playing with like, let's just say 100%, 5.2 of those percentage points. Yeah. That's the improvement.
I mean, I'm not great at math, but that sounds very close. Well, I'm doing the math in my head right now as we speak, and I think that's great. So why not keep your team unsevered? In Confluence, the connected workspace where teams can do it all. Set knowledge free with Confluence. Learn more at Atlassian.com slash Confluence. That's A-T-L-A-S-S-I-A-N dot com slash C-O-N-F-L-U-E-N-C-E.
Just I have one question. This is probably really silly. Do you do any other accents? Because your American accent is so good. Like, what else do you do accent-wise that's really good?
I've been trying to learn an Irish one, actually, because my daughter and I have been watching Bad Sisters, and we absolutely love it. And Matilda's, like, been walking around the house saying, you know, like, all the different names on the show. And, like, sometimes, like, we'll just start trying to talk to each other in Irish accent. But I have to, like, start perfecting it.
This is your Bad Sisters season three audition.
